@Geert34,

Welcome to the HP Forums 🙂 I would like to take a moment and thank you for using this forum, it is a great place to find answers. For you to have the best experience on the HP forum, you could also visit our HP Forums Guide for First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.  I see from your post that you're having issues installing the drivers for your HP LaserJet 1018 printer. Don't worry we'll work together to help you find a solution.

After reviewing the post, I did go through the printer software and driver download page and found that your this printer does not have full feature software.

Hence I would suggest here is to install the printer drivers using Windows Built in drivers. 

I would suggest here is to Uninstall the printer drivers and then try installing the Windows built-in drivers for the printer.

Simply turn on the printer and connect the USB cable from the printer to the PC. The drivers will be installed in 2-3 minutes. Go to Control panel - Devices and printers to check the printer entry and make it as default printer if needed.
